Image title
Top left compartment: Mercy, a crowned female figure standing on a wolf, holding a pink medallion carrying a hen and chicks. She throws a garment over a semi-naked male figure. The wolf seizes a lamb between the man's legs (inscribed above 'misericorde'). Top right compartment: Avarice, a seated bearded miser in rags transfers gold coins from a small chest to a larger one, on which reclines a devil (inscribed above 'auarice'). Bottom left compartment: Lot, standing outside a battlemented building, receives two winged angels dressed as pilgrims (inscribed below 'Loth qui recoit les angels'). Bottom right compartment: the widow's oil, a standing female figure set before a church-like building pours oil into a vessel (inscribed below 'la bonne fame qui depart luile')
